When the Royal Hyrule Library reopens, Link is welcomed by Maggie, who recognizes him as Smith's grandson.[5]Maggie is in charge of Library Book returns, which has proved problematic for her.[6]Paige introduces herself as the person responsible for checking out books, declaring that the book returns are not her problem, though she still sympathizes with Maggie's predicament.[7]Klaus can be found inside the Library wondering what he should check out.[8]

On the second floor of the Royal Hyrule Library waits Sturgeon, who tells Link that the books have been moving seemingly of their own accord, unaware of the Minish influence.[9] Sturgeon is a potential target for Kinstone Fusion, and if Link successfully fuses Kinstone Pieces with him, the pond in the northwestern section of Hyrule Castle Garden will dry up, allowing Link to descend the newly-revealed stairway into the chamber to receive the Piece of Heart housed within.

If Link becomes Minish-sized and enters the bookcase that Sturgeon is standing by, he will discover a Minish settlement within the bookcase. A Town Minish will tell Link that because some humans have checked out books and failed to return them, Elder Librari is stranded on the upper levels of the bookshelf. She asks for Link to find out where they are from Maggie and retrieve them.[10]Link can also fuse Kinstone Pieces with this Town Minish, causing a Treasure Chest to appear in the playground garden of the Funday School. Another Town Minish will complain that the books are missing, but celebrates the fact that because of it, she does not have to listen to Librari's "boring old stories".[11]

Once Link retrieves the three books and returns them to Maggie, she will give them to Sturgeon, the person in charge of putting books back on the shelves.[15] With this done, Link can now climb the books as a Minish, speak to Librari, and obtain the Flippers after passing his trial.[16]

Inside the Library, Link can fuse Kinstone Pieces with Paige, as well as with Klaus, an elderly man found either inside or in front of the Royal Hyrule Library.

That Minish is Elder Librari, and he is in semi-retirement in the town library. The library should be opening soon. Perhaps you can go find him." — Forest Picori (The Minish Cap)

Checked out by a girl with a cat. She said she had a new cat at her house. Wanted to learn more about it, she did." — Maggie (The Minish Cap)

↑"Hey! Look at that! Our long-lost copy of A Hyrulean Bestiary! Link, are you returning this book?! Thank you so much! I can't begin to describe how much I'm looking forward to putting this back!" — Maggie (The Minish Cap)
